The name is an argument: that media are best understood as competition for attention on screens connected to the internet. Phones, tablets, laptops, monitors, television sets—it's all just glass.

Live blog of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings's interview at the Code Conference

Most significant highlights

1. Hastings more-or-less ruled out Netflix getting into live sports.

2. He named FX as a big competitor for the first time (in addition to HBO).

3. On internet service providers charging by data usage: "When you listen to the radio more, it doesn’t cost you more. But with gasoline, you pay more. The internet is much closer to radio than to gas."

"Brian Roberts would like to be a regulated monopoly like the Post Office, where everyone pays him." —@reedhastings on Comcast #codecon

Hastings equates Netflix to the evolution of cable networks. We tried in 2005, with Red Envelope Entertainment, creating original content. It didn’t work, so shut it down. Restarted in 2010.

[Hastings:] In the opening season of “House of Cards,” in which Frank Underwood’s character strangles a dog, a lot of people turned the show off. We told David Fincher that. He said don’t ever do that again.

Hastings: Netflix Has 2 big competitors, HBO and FX. They know content very well, but they don't know the internet very well. #codecon
